SMART values record history... I do not believe they can be "reset".

Ok thank you, I'll apply for RMA

It may not require a RMA....
If you had a bad SATA cable, it might generate an error. This does not mean the drive is bad even though the cable has been replaced and everything is fine now.

Hello,
I have the same problem. I've been working with my SSD almost 2 weeks, I used Intel SSD Toolbox Optimizer every day and I have been awarded with unpleasant suprise.
Here are the printscreens with my problem messeges (click it to enlarge):

If it helps my SSD is 160GB X25-M SATA. I'm working on HP Z600 Workstation with 24GB of RAM and double E5540 onboard and I need performance to work efficiently. Now operating system stands on Seagate hard disk that was supposed to be a storage drive.
Problem starts with freeze of OS. After restart Windows didn't get up. I have tried to reinstall it but it is impossible. Windows Seven doesn't wanted to install on Intels storage because S.M.A.R.T. system reports problems. Sata cable is OK. I have tried to plug Intel SSD in three different sata slots by two different cables - always the same result.
I have tried to format it, to delete and mount partitions, updateing firmware. I have been scanned it with HD Tune Pro 4.60 and it doesn't show any bad sectors in Error Scan mode. I filled disk with zeros by this HD Tune Pro Tool still doesn't help with my case, I have tried the same with SpeedFan 4.43. What else can I do to?
